Death

I figured I was dead, about yesterday.
Did it change my whole life? No, but it made more sense on how things kept evolving and how I didn't feel like I was learning.
And maybe I am stuck in a mood; maybe- I am stuck being you.
I am not the 10 yr old that left this world alone. So yes, I don't know everything but I do know that me, is not you anymore.
My family acts as if i'm around just to keep my spirit out of a tomb. Yet the truth is that I am so buried in the ground.
I’ve been there rotting for years, but these tears won't seem to leave their eyes.
I despise keeping them around because all they're going to get, is hurt.
Because I'm in this loop, endless loop it keeps going on while they're moving on.
I don't understand why they're dragging me with them.
I am gone, thin out of the air and I can't live,
So I'm not heard.

[I Am Svetlana]

I constantly feel dead inside, even on good days. My family makes me feel like it'll all be over, that it's just there for awhile and it'll go away, but sometimes, it never goes away, I'm just good at smiling more days than others. I can't tell them how I feel inside cause they'll ask for a reason why and I don't have one...but I don't want them to assume that I'm crazy or trying to get attention. Very powerful poem, glad I could relate!
